Keppra and Alcohol
Mon, 02/04/2008 - 13:49I am a healthy 28 year old male who just had his first 2 seizures on consecutive days. I went to the hospital and had an MRI and an EEG. The EEG came back abnormal so the DR. put me on Keppra 1000mg a day. I am a social drinker who drinks regularly. The Doctor said I shouldn't drink and if I do I can only have one drink. Is this true? I am not an alcoholic but the thought of never being able to get drunk again is fairly upsetting to me. Does anyone have any advice? What happens if I do drink?
Thanks

Ever heard of Kepprage? Well, you may get suicidal, violent, aggressive, irrational, etc. I can't take Keppra. I cannot take it especially with alcohol...it just makes that bad situation worse. It may not have the same effect...but at least you know now
